[QUOTE="JP_Gunner, post: 2652206, member: 113839"] Find someone locally you can go see the process or try it. I'm fortunate enough to have a few buddies with a lathes, that have/will let me use theirs. it's not a difficult process but it is tedious. The worst part for me is dialing it in to be concentric. After that it's just monotonous small cuts/passes until you get to proper diameter then cutting threads over multiple passes. It's kinda like buying a tractor and cultivating a garden, picking, snapping and canning beans... when you can buy a can at the store for $0.89. Is it worth it.... not financially, but if you take pride in the process and like being able to see it from start to finish then it may be worth it to you. [/QUOTE]
